TWO footballers were left rolling on the floor in agony after a horror tackle

Footage from a Honduran top-flight game between Marathon and Olimpia went viral following a two-footed lunge that left two opponents injured.

Late in the clash, Marathon star André Orellana lunged into a high two-footed tackle to try and win a loose ball.

Instead, the 21-year-old's momentum saw him clatter into Olimpia stars Carlos Pineda and German Mejia with his studs raised.

Both of the away side's players were left down in a heap on the floor as a result of the shocking challenge.

The challenge left the referee with no choice but to show Orellana a red card for the undeniably dangerous play.
